I was putting stuff in the cargo area and it struck me how absurd it is that I need to have two batteries to keep from getting stranded in a new car. After reading about the issue I picked up a decent jump pack before I picked up the car new and have needed it 3 times in 15000 miles of driving. The 12v isn't dead, it's merely suspect and works fine most of the time. I am now wondering if folks have been successful getting it replaced even though it is generally operating?

Put some caliper covers on today while getting center hub rings installed for the new rims ( tldr - tire shop didn't have the right ones on install date so I had to find some.) pretty cheesy but not too bad 🤷‍♂️

Discount Tire 🛞 honored their price matching and I got a decent price on ENKEI TS-5 17 X8 5-114.30 40 with CONTINENTAL TRUECONTACT TOUR 54 - 225 /55 R17 97V SL tires.

Naturally the hub centric rings I ordered from Amazon said the correct 73.1 to 60.1 on the box but was 76mm 😞 so I ordered a replacement and will have to go back in and get them installed.

Otherwise, they fit great and because they are close to the original weight of the OE gear, if not a couple of pounds lighter, I don't expect much of an impact on efficiency. The ride improved significantly and I like the new look 👀
